The '''United Earth/Oceans Organization''' (UEO) is a central governing body in the world depicted in the sources. It was established after a significant global shift that followed the collapse of the [[United Nations]]. In the aftermath of this collapse, nations began to form confederations, leading to a period of instability and a constant threat of war. The UEO was created to address this volatile situation and to administer a new peace, with a specific focus on the world's oceans.

The UEO is not simply a military alliance, but rather a complex entity with both military and scientific objectives. It is presented as a peacekeeping organization responsible for maintaining order and stability, particularly in deep ocean regions. The UEO is also tasked with overseeing deep ocean exploration and research, using resources such as the ''[[SeaQuest DSV|seaQuest]]'', a deep submergence research vessel.

The UEO's headquarters is located at the Naval Command Center in [[Pearl Harbor]], [[Hawaii]]. The organization has a bureaucratic structure, with various regulations and protocols that its members must follow. The UEO has significant resources, including the ability to monitor the oceans and deploy advanced vessels like the ''[[SeaQuest DSV|seaQuest]]''. The UEO has a diverse group of personnel, including military officers, scientists, and engineers, reflecting its dual military and research focus.

The UEO's goals are not without challenges, as there are internal conflicts and tensions between the different factions within the organization. There is a notable tension between the military personnel, who view the ''[[SeaQuest DSV|seaQuest]]'' primarily as a military asset, and the scientific personnel, who see it as a research platform. This tension underscores the complex nature of the UEO and the competing interests it must balance. The UEO also faces external threats from renegade groups, like the one led by [[Marilyn Stark]], who challenge its authority.

The UEO is also presented as an organization with the power to commission research and exploration projects, as seen with their funding of the ''[[SeaQuest DSV|seaQuest]]''. The UEO has a particular interest in deep ocean exploration and scientific research, but also needs to maintain order and security by deploying the ''[[SeaQuest DSV|seaQuest]]''. The UEO is not universally trusted, and some characters, like [[Nathan Bridger]], are shown to be skeptical of its motives. Bridger questions the UEO's use of the ''[[SeaQuest DSV|seaQuest]]'' as a peacekeeper rather than a warship.
